Bio

You were a three-year letterwinner on the softball diamond and finished your career as one of Olivet’s best players. You ended your career as Olivet’s all-time leader with 31 wins, 1.47 ERA, 386 and one-third innings pitched and 445 strikeouts. You are also ranked first and second in the MIAA for single-season strikeouts and second in career strikeouts. During the 2000 season, you threw a no-hitter against Saint Mary’s College of Indiana.

In addition to your success in the circle, you were also a threat at the plate. You finished your career ranked among the all-time leaders with a .364 batting average, .477 slugging percentage and 17 doubles.

In 1999, you were the first woman in school history to earn Most Valuable Player honors from the MIAA. You earned first team All-MIAA honors in 1999 and 2000 and first-team All-Region honors in 2000.

You were an active member of the Sigma Beta sorority and Gamma Iota Sigma. You were also selected as the Homecoming Princess in 1999.

After graduating from Olivet in 2000, you taught in the Lansing School District for five years and were the varsity softball coach at Everett High School. Presently, you teach first grade at Spencer Elementary in the Savannah/Chatham County School District in Savannah, Georgia.

Olivet honors you and is proud to induct you into the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame on this 29th day of September, 2007.
